🌨️ Snow Forecast & Weather Boston – What’s Coming This Week
Winter is making its presence felt in New England: a major winter storm is forecast to hit Massachusetts and surrounding areas this Tuesday — bringing everything from snow to rain and wintry mix depending on location. ([source])
Areas west and north of Boston — away from the coastline and east of I-95 — are expected to pick up plowable snow, with some interior zones forecast to receive up to 4–8 inches, and isolated higher totals in elevated regions.
For Boston and the eastern coastal strip, forecasters from “weather Boston” outlets expect mostly rain or a brief coating of snow early Tuesday, with the wintry mix quickly shifting as warm air moves in from the ocean.
A subtle later-winter chill lingers: after the snowstorm passes, temperatures are expected to drop — making driving and travel potentially hazardous even if the snow doesn’t accumulate heavily everywhere.
🗺️ What WMUR Says — Regional Outlook & Snow Totals in New Hampshire & Nearby
Although “Weather Boston” coverage centers on Massachusetts, sister-region reports from WMUR extend the urgency northward: according to WMUR’s forecast, some zones across southern New Hampshire could see 5 to 10 inches of snow as the system passes — marking one of the first statewide “plowable” snow events of the season.
This aligns with recent pattern setups, where colder air masses and a shifting polar vortex have increased snow chances throughout New England.
🚗 What to Expect — Travel, Commute & Safety Alerts
Given the mix of snow, rain, and potential ice:
Travel may be risky, especially inland or in elevated zones — slush, especially if rain transitions to freezing, could make roads slippery by late afternoon.
Commute delays are likely early Tuesday and possibly into Wednesday, with snow-plow activity, wet roads near the coast, and wind chills making driving conditions tricky.
Coastal and city dwellers should stay updated — while Boston might escape heavy snow, timing matters: early morning flurries may catch commuters before rainfall begins.
đź“ť What This Means for Residents & What You Should Do
If you live west/north of Boston or in interior New England, treat Tuesday as a full-blown winter weather day: check snow-blower readiness, keep a winter-emergency kit in your car, and allow extra commute time.
If you’re in Boston or coastal areas, expect a “clean-up-quick” snow scenario but still stay alert — slipping risks may rise if temperatures drop and precipitation changes form.
Keep an eye on real-time updates on WMUR, local weather services, or “weather Boston” channels for alerts, snow totals, and road advisories.
